I seem to have a new friend on the plot, even bolder than the robins.
Barry blackbird has become very tame, often working the chipping path on one side of a bed as I work on the other, but he's surpassed himself the last couple of days. I'll often sit on my little wicker stool in the back of the big greenhouse, contemplating the meaning of life. Yesterday there was a rattle on the door bar and Barry came in, poking his head round the corner of the island bed and giving me the eye. He retreated and I assumed he'd leave, but instead came up the other side of the bed, working the chipping path and gobbling any goodies. He then came round to my side and repeated the process, getting within half a yard of my feet before taking fright and legging it. Today he was already in there when I went for a sit down, hiding 'neath the stool! I took pictures of him which I'll post if I ever work out how to. Can anyone suggest a useful editing tool for reducing photo file sizes, or is it possible to link directly these days?
